"And now for something completely different ... a low-budget comedy gore film from New Zealand, influenced as much by the work of Monty Python and Buster Keaton as by splatter masters like Sam Raimi and George A. Romero. In the gifted hands of Peter Jackson and his collaborators, Bad Taste has become a steady-earning cult classic, launching the career of the world's highest-paid filmmaker. This book recounts the fascinating story of the film's unconventional, homemade production and its unexpected success at the Cannes Film Festival before examining the roots of its global cult appeal as a pioneering work of 'splatstick'."--Jacket
